"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." --A. A. Milne

A friend of mine wrote this wonderful poem for me. It is just full of so much love, I couldn't help but share it. I love you M!


Young, hip, and beautiful.
A mother, wife, and daughter,
struggling to keep her life in peace.

Head, mind, and heart in constant battle,
trying so hard not to go with the latter.

The prisoner escapes from her shackles.
Flee's to another universe,
one unknown to her and her kind.
With hopes of a better future,
than the one she left behind.

In her hands she brings a friend,
traveling along side each other
to help, to hold,
with hearts of steel to triumph through any unjustice.

Meeting friends and foes along the journey.
Sharing tears of happiness,
and tears of sorrow,
pushing through the strife and struggle
with smiles of broken hearts,
with hopes of a better future.
